Dietary recommendations have been changing ever since they began making them as we learn more about what foods we need to eat to stay healthy. The other factor that they have to consider is that our crops are producing fruits and vegetables that, every year, become less and less nutritious. So, that is one of the reasons that they doubled the requirements for fruits and vegetables about ten years ago.

Who is in charge of developing the dietary guildlines?
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are published jointly every 5 years by the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Agriculture (USDA), as mandated by Congress. The American Dietetic Association (ADA) bases its recommendations almost exclusively on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. There is a lot of controversy over whether lobbyists and special interests have undue influence over the final recommendations. The USDA is charged with, among other things, promoting the nation's agricultural businesses. Top USDA positions have been filled over the years with former executives from Monsanto, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the National Pork Board, the National Pork Producers Council, the National Livestock and Meat Board, the Packers and Stockyards Administration, the Meat Export Federation, Infinity Pork, and ConAgra Foods. In addition to promoting this industry, the USDA is supposed to be regulating it, and, every five years, it tells Americans what to eat (and therefore which industry products to buy). The USDA has, for its entire existence, promoted eggs, meat, dairy, and grains as key components of a healthy diet, because the United States agricultural industry makes a lot of profit selling eggs, meat, dairy, and grains. For each revision of the Guidelines, an Advisory Committee of nutrition scientists, epidemiologists, and researchers debate the latest evidence on virtually every aspect of diet, nutrition, and health. Prior to 2000, the USDA had refused to disclose whether any members of the Advisory Committee might have conflicts of interest. But in December 2000, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) won a suit against the USDA, and showed that six of the eleven members assigned to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee had financial ties to meat, dairy, and egg interests. The Independent Scientific Review Panel peer-reviews the recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans to ensure that they were based on the preponderance of the scientific evidence. Of the eight members of the Panel, seven are Registered Dietitians (RDs) and members of the ADA. Therefore, the ADA, which bases its recommendations on the USDA Dietary Guidelines, provides the bulk of the panel that determines whether the Dietary Guidelines are based on science. A Congressional investigation revealed that the ADA receives over $1 million a year in payments from pharmaceutical companies and an undisclosed amount from companies such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Hershey. The ADA's continuing education courses for RD's are being taught by the Coca-Cola Company's Beverage Institute. After the Committee releases its report, the government invites the public to weigh in with their comments. Anyone can provide input, but the majority of the comments come from lobbyists for special interests, who contest any recommendations that would hurt sales of their products. The Sugar Association, for example, argued that there was insufficient evidence to support a recommendation that Americans cut back on sugar. The National Pork Producers fought recommendations to cut back on meat consumption, because such recommendations would hurt consumers by limiting their intake of high-quality protein, such as pork. In response to criticism that the Dietary Guidelines are unduly influenced by vested interests in the food industry, the Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, and PCRM, among other organizations, publish their own dietary guidelines.

This is the 2010 report: I did not write this, I copied it off the official site."USDA and HHS Announce New Dietary Guidelines to Help Americans Make Healthier Food Choices and Confront Obesity EpidemicWASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2011 - Agriculture Secretary TomVilsack and Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius today announced the release of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the federal government's evidence-based nutritional guidance to promote health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity through improved nutrition and physical activity.Because more than one-third of children and more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese, the 7th edition of Dietary Guidelines for Americans places stronger emphasis on reducing calorie consumption and increasing physical activity."The 2010 Dietary Guidelines are being released at a time when the majority of adults and one in three children is overweight or obese and this is a crisis that we can no longer ignore," said Secretary Vilsack. "These new and improved dietary recommendations give individuals the information to make thoughtful choices of healthier foods in the right portions and to complement those choices with physical activity. The bottom line is that most Americans need to trim our waistlines to reduce the risk of developing diet-related chronic disease. Improving our eating habits is not only good for every individual and family, but also for our country."The new 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans focus on balancing calories with physical activity, and encourage Americans to consume more healthy foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and seafood, and to consume less sodium, saturated and trans fats, added sugars, and refined grains."Helping Americans incorporate these guidelines into their everyday lives is important to improving the overall health of the American people," said HHS Secretary Sebelius. "The new Dietary Guidelines provide concrete action steps to help people live healthier, more physically active and longer lives."The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include 23 Key Recommendations for the general population and six additional Key Recommendations for specific population groups, such as women who are pregnant. Key Recommendations are the most important messages within the Guidelines in terms of their implications for improving public health. The recommendations areintended as an integrated set of advice to achieve an overall healthy eating pattern. To get the full benefit, all Americans should carry out the Dietary Guidelines recommendations in their entirety.More consumer-friendly advice and tools, including a next generation Food Pyramid, will be released by USDA and HHS in the coming months. Below is a preview of some of the tips that will be provided to help consumers translate the Dietary Guidelinesinto their everyday lives:• Enjoy your food, but eat less.• Avoid oversized portions.• Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.• Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.• Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals - and choose the foods with lower numbers.• Drink water instead of sugary drinks.This edition of the Dietary Guidelines comes at a critical juncture for America's health and prosperity. By adopting the recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines, Americans can live healthier lives and contribute to a lowering of health-care costs, helping to strengthen America's long-term economic competitiveness and overall productivity.USDA and HHS have conducted this latest review of the scientific literature, and have developed and issued the 7th edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans in a joint effort that is mandated by Congress. The Guidelines form the basis of nutrition education programs, Federal nutrition assistance programs such as school meals programs and Meals on Wheels programs for seniors, and dietary advice provided by health professionals.The Dietary Guidelines, based on the most sound scientific information, provide authoritative advice for people 2 years and older about how proper dietary habits can promote health and reduce risk for major chronic diseases.The Dietary Guidelines aid policymakers in designing and implementing nutrition-related programs. They also provide education and health professionals, such as nutritionists, dietitians, and health educators with a compilation of the latest science-based recommendations."The 2010 Dietary Guidelines is available at www.dietaryguidelines.gov.For more information on dietary guidelines, see www.health.gov/dietaryguidelines and www.healthfinder.gov/preventionUSDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.
